PARSIPPANY — A 93-year-old man who was reported missing Thursday has returned home safely, Parsippany police said.

A family member spoke to the man Thursday, and he seemed fine, police said. But he went missing later that day, and didn't turn up at stores in the area he sometimes frequents, police said.

Parsippany police put out a "silver alert" seeking the man, and pleaded with members of the public via their Facebook page for help locating him. They worried that the arriving storm could put him in danger, and said they didn't know if he had his medication with him.

On Friday morning, he was seen at a gas station in Girard, Ohio, where he used a charge card and asked an employee for directions to Route 80 west, police said.
